One year of a Brendan Ryan-esque Taylor Walls would be a great fit.
The frugal Tampa Bay Rays might be looking to shed Walls' 2027 salary of $3.1 million and former top prospect Carson Williams might ready to take over shortstop for the Rays. Walls should not cost much in a trade even if the Rays include three years of defensively adept righthand-hitting outfielder Jonny DeLuca, who has a projected 2027 salary of $1.7 million.
